Wedding Wednesday: Wedding Budget (Part 1)
9:09 PM
Hi guys and dolls! So today I’m going to be
posting a new Wedding Wednesday post! The reason I’m doing this is because I’ve
recently reactivated my wedding plans. Therefore, I’m going to be looking at a
lot of wedding info, and I want to gather and filter everything in a way that
is helpful for you readers. So, today’s post is going to be divided in two
parts, one will be about how to plan a budget for a civil wedding and the other
about how to plan it for a religious wedding.
Today I’ll be writing about how to plan a
budget for a Civil Wedding. As we all know, weddings can be adapted to the
bride and groom’s style and preferences, so this budget I’m going to construct
is going to have the very basic elements a civil wedding requires. If you’re a
bride to be, remember you can always add or remove elements according to your
needs. This budget is extremely simple to make, all you have to do is make a
very detailed list of everything you need and how much it will cost.
I’ll start detailing the first part of the
list so it is easy to understand. First off, I’ll be taking one wedding
element, which will be “Beverages”. Then, I’ll make a small list of all of the
beverages I expect to serve at the wedding, for example:
Beverages:
v Champagne
v Whisky
v Wine
v Soda
v Rum
Then, I’ll add the amount of bottles of each drink and the price for the whole lot, like this:
Beverages:
v Champagne (2): $___.
v Whisky (3): $____.
v Wine (2): $____.
v Soda (5): $____.
v Rum (3): $____.
Then,
at last, I’ll add all of the prices. This will give me an estimate of the money
that I’ll spend on beverages.
Beverages:
v Champagne (2): $___.
v Whisky (3): $____.
v Wine (2): $____.
v Soda (5): $____.
v Rum (3): $____.
Total: $_____.
Bride’s dress:
v Fabric
v Design and couture
v Shoes
v Other
Bride’s aesthetic:
v Makeup
v Hairstyling
v Jewelry
v Other
Groom’s outfit:
v Suit (If bought or
rented)
v Shoes
v Other
Photography and videos:
v Photography
v Video
v Album
v Other
Music:
v Band
v Disc jockey
v Other
Decoration:
v Floral arrangements
v Plants
v Furniture
v Lighting
v Centerpieces
v Other
Documents:
v Birth certificate
v Judge
v Other
So, these are the basic elements I consider that are important for a civil wedding. You can take this very basic list and tailor it according to your needs and preferences. It is very important to keep in mind that things don't always go as planned, there are numerous things that can go wrong. Just remember that the most important part of the celebration is the fact that you are getting married to your best friend, your life companion, your crush, and your favorite person in the whole universe.
